Features

Blower

  • A powerful 1,000 rpm blower moves crops quickly to fill wagons and trucks fast. Works efficiently regardless of whether you’re working in wet, heavy hay or an easy-to-blow crop like corn

Cutterhead

  • The FHX300 has a wide 25.5 in. (647.7 mm) throat opening to swallow even the heaviest crops. The feedrolls move material smoothly and evenly into the cutterhead
  • Rugged, 21 in. (533 mm) diameter cutterhead
  • 12 hardened alloy knives chop evenly and efficiently
  • Knives span the full width of cutterhead
  • Provides uniform length of cut, converting crop into high-quality feed

Easy Sharpening / Adjustment

  • Convenient adjustments make it easy to keep the FHX300 chopping at peak efficiency
  • Built-in knife sharpener sharpens knives easily – no tools needed
  • Reversible gearbox is easy to access for fast sharpening
  • Shearbar adjustment is also fast and easy for optimum cutterhead performance. Feedrolls lift up for easy cleaning and inspection of shearbar and smooth roll scraper

Electronic Remote Controls

  • Electronic remote controls allow you to rotate the spout 90 degrees. The spout is easily repositioned to fill towed forage wagons or trucks to the left. From your tractor seat, you control:
  • FHX300 feedroll direction either forward or reverse
  • Crop heads
  • Standard hydraulic tongue swing from road to field position

Length of Cut Control

  • The FHX300 allows for precise cut length adjustment. Control length of cut by:
  • Changing feedroll speed
  • Adding or removing knives
  • Using one of 5 optional recutter screens
  • Achieve a cut length from 3/16 in. to 7/16 in. (5 mm to 11.1 mm) with all 12 knives. With only 4 knives selected, achieve a cut length as long as 1-5/16 in. (33.3 mm)

Metal Detector Protection

  • Detector stops feedrolls within a fraction of a second – before metal can damage the cutterhead. How it works:
  • Sensor and electromagnet in the front lower feedroll emits a constant magnetic field between the 2 stainless steel lower feedrolls
  • Light and horn alert when metal is detected and a signal is sent to solenoid to stop the feedrolls
  • Power is shut off to an electric clutch on reversing gearbox that shifts to neutral and stops power to feedroll drive
  • Feedroll control switch allows you to back the material out of feedrolls
  • After metal is removed, detector resets automatically
